I decided to machine the part out of 1-inch-thick acrylic due to its machinability. The milling machine for this part was the Tormach 770MX
In my first setup I adaptive cleared the profile of the pillow block as well as the pocket with a 1/2 inch endmill. I then came in with a 1/4 inch end mill in order to get the 1/8 inch radius.
In my next setup I flipped the stock over and faced my stock off until I reached the desired thickness of 1/2 inch. The work holding was a little difficult as I had to clamp down on the radius in the vice, and then zero off of the parallels in order to get the correct thickness measurement on the machine
In my third setup, I had to level the part using parallels on top of the vice, which I then removed for the drilling operation.
Here is the finished product,
In the end, I was able to machine the part. I learned a lot about CAM and milling, and this project gave me the confidence to machine other parts. If I were to do this again I would have done an adaptive clear on the first setup to achieve a better surface finish.
